Six Steps to Take Next: by Jack Canfield

I got thiz from a great book called, "The Vision Board The Secret to An Extraordinary life" by Joyce Schwarz. I will be sharing little tidbits from her book from time to time. However, thiz iz something she got from Jack Canfield Founder and CEO, Chicken Soup for the Soul Enterprises.

1. Every morning: release and visualize.

Every morning take five minutes to focus your mind on your desires, goals, and intentions. You may want to begin by facing your vision board for inspiration. Relax, close your eyes, and visualize your desires and goals as already being fulfilled. Release any negative limiting beliefs. Don't fight or argue with the thought, just release it. Spend thirty seconds to a minute on each of your core desires. Focus on feeling as if you are already manifesting your desires in life; the intensity of that inner feeling is what fuels the attraction to you.

2. Continue to use external images to focus on your desires and goals.

Throughout the day keep focused on what you want to manifest by surrounding yourself with visual images of the things and experiences you want to attract into your life. When you look at any of these pictures, do what Bob Doyle, who is featured in The Secret teaches: Think the thought, This is mine now! This is who I am!

3. Think a Better Feeling Thought.

Throughout your day, pay special attention to when you feel disappointment, resentment, frustration, or anger about your experiences. Remember, it's your feelings (which are created by your thoughts, opinions, and beliefs) that are attracting your current circumstances. Consciously make a vibrational shift by changing your thoughts to ones that make you feel better. Focus on thoughts that bring you joy (your lover, your best friend, your grandchildren, your favorite vacation spot) and take action by doing the things you love (petting your cat, working in your garden listening to your favorite music). Encourage your spouse, your children and your colleagues to join you in this exercise.

4. Practice an attitude of gratitude.

Focus on all of the things in your life (most of which you take for granted) that you are grateful for--your health, your children, you job, nice weather, electricity, running water, a nice sound system, your flower garden, you pets, and your friends. Share this practice with your children and colleagues. Record what you are grateful for in a gratitude journal. You might want to consider keeping two journals, one for business and one for family.

5. Take Action

Here are two different ways to take action: through obvious actions like test-driving the exact model car you yearn for and arranging for automatic withdrawal from your checking account of 10 percent of your weekly income to a special "car savings account. " Be open to inspired action when the universe begins to respond to your obvious actions by sending people, resources, and opportunities to manifest your desired goal. As you begin to have inspired ideas, act on them. Follow the gentle proddings; often your intuitive impulses may lead you to a path of wonderful fulfillment. Are you going in the right direction? If you're feeling joy, you are on the right path. Follow your joy!

6. Acknowledge that it is working

Start to look for signs that your life is changing for the better. Be sure to appreciate these changes. When you find the perfect parking space acknowledge it. When you get the table you want in a restaurant, acknowledge it. When you receive unexpected income, acknowledge it. When you meet someone who can help you achieve your goal, acknowledge that the law of attraction is working. The more you acknowledge, the more it will work. If you want to know what you are thinking about, notice the results you are producing in your life. To change those results, change your vibration by changing your thoughts and feelings.
